Product not without issues.
Perhaps an isolated issue. However, the four wheels utilized for the track system produced noticeable jarring throughout the range of motion. Not fluid at all. Upon further inspection, I found the wheels and bearings assemblies were either not installed properly or faulty. They did not run true and would rub at certain points on rotation against the chassis. Has been over 48 hours since Contacted Walmart I have yet to hear back any resolution.

    SO FAR, SO GOOD...
    ordered it on Friday, arrived on Sunday...what a surprise, especially after they said it wouldn't be delivered till the next Thursday. setup was fast and easy, took me longer to get everything unpacked, than to put together. I had another older total gym model, but gave it away, afterwards I regretted it so I bought this one. comparing the 2, the older model was sturdier, and of heavier gauge steel. but this one seems to be plenty sturdy enough, as I've used it to compliment and add to, my regular weight workouts. it's smooth and quiet, and has 2 more resistance levels than the older version. I'm pleased with it, and it seems like it will work in with my regular workouts just great! I'm glad I purchased it.

    Fun and sturdy!
    I found a review on line that was independent and gave an honest demonstration by some fitness dude, he had positive things to say so I went for it! I'm glad I did! A little tricky to set up if you've never used one of these, watch a video, so much easier after you see how it's done! I god this for rehabilitation after cancer treatments and surgery, it's great because it's pods to start with a very easy level and progress. It's fun too!

    Great product, great value from Walmart
    Arrived on time, mostly assembled, reasonably easy to follow directions to set up. This is my second Total Gym bought to use at our temporary accommodation, the first is still working well after ten years of regular use; only the rollers have worn down and been easily replaced. Wonderful design; encourages exercise.

    Best investment I've made in my health recently
    I started using the total gym while visiting my daughter out of state. I am 72 years old and haven't really worked out in years, so for me to say it was easy to start and stick with is saying something. Iam getting results and feeling better than I have in years. It comes out of the shipping box easy to set up and get started, just don't try to do too much in the beginning, my son-in-law and daughter coached me the first day and it helped. Only downside is having to buy some new jeans.

    I rarely submit reviews about products I purchase so this is a big deal. After looking at the cheaper brands and their reviews I decided to spend a bit more and go with the Total Gym. The product was delivered ahead of time and packaged extremely well. No damage and all items were included. A month since my purchase and it works as it should with no problems. It was very easy to set up and start using. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Total Gym.

    Awesome Addition
    I like that it was very easy to assemble and have a workout booklet to help with your exercises. It glides easily and it really don't take up that much space in my home gym. I use it at least 4 times a week to workout my entire body. I really do love this machine.

    There were just a couple of issues
    Very sturdy and easy to use. When raising it to the highest incline, I found carpet helped or else it kept slipping as I tried to pull up the incline bar. A wall to support it would probably work also, then once in place, it stays in place. The dvd really helps with all the exercises. I do wish the wheels, which really are just plastic moving caps on the legs would assist better when wanting to move it. Its very heavy, but folds up super easy.

    Love love love!
    So in love with this machine! Have seen it advertised for years now and have always been skeptical but now I'm a believer! Super fun, easy to use, easy setup and breakdown, came with attachments, and guides for various workouts. Also, as a mom of 5 hyperactive kids, trying to get back in shape and set a better example, they love it too! easy for them to use and they enjoy doing it!

    I love my Apex G3
    I love my Apex G3 Total Gym. Since the virus is still bad in my area going to the gym is not an option. My doctor has cleared me to workout after shoulder surgery, so starting out with the least resistance has been great to build back my strength. I have been using this for 3 weeks now, already I can see a big improvement with my strength. Honestly, I can work out every muscle group using this Total Gym that I did using 18 different weight machines at the gym, plus you can do a cardio workout! I highly recommended the Total Gym! Great value for the money!

    The Total Gym APEX G3 is awesome
    It has been a positive experience. The unit was packed very well and no damage occurred. It was delivered several days ahead of schedule. The unit itself is awesome. It is made of steel and built very strong. It came with a dvd which helped with setting it up. The dvd also showed me an exercise workout that I followed and liked. There are so many exercises on u-tube and I've heard Pinterest does the same. I have done several workouts so far and they have gone well. My body is sore! I will continue using my Total Gym and it's nice to have it at home and not having to drive to the gym which I am going to cancel. Let me end this by talking about where to buy it. If you go on the Total Gym website they are expensive. I went onto the Walmart site and found several Total Gym models. The one I chose for $399 plus tax included free shipping. It weighs 86 lbs (again very robust and strong). So after checking everything out I felt Walmart had the best option. My model is the Total Gym APEX G3. I highly recommend it. It's not on the Total Gym website as it came out in mid 2020 and they have raised their prices with new models that all do the same thing. Hope this is helpful! The unit folds up for storage but I leave mine setup in the extra bedroom.

    Thank you Jesus Christ
    Team this machine is blessed by God. Instantly i knew God wanted me to purchase this machine. It worked automatically. I felt strengthened and rejuvenated. I give thanks to my lord and saviour Jesus Christ for helping me to get out of my daily rut and get back to a healthy body and consciousness. Walmart was flawless with the delivery in two days. Everything is perfect

    Total Gym Apex 3, good price, good equipment!
    Overall, this is a very good piece of equipment. I've been using a Total Gym as a major part of my workouts since 2016. It has assisted in achieving a 55 lbs weight lose (in a year) while maintaining my strength and conditioning. This model was an upgrade from my previous one and definitely has allowed me to add more exercises and resistance to my routine. I purchased a weight bar and weight plates separately, which allows additional weight to the workout. The only two issues I have with the Apex G3 are the ankle strap and the squat pad. The ankle strap that comes with this model is not the best and most updated that Total Gym offers. Upon first use I could hear and feel the strain on the strap and the stitches. The plastic adustment buckle does not instill a lot of confidence in the strap. It's longevity is in question at this point. The squat pad is slicker than an ice rink! My squat pad was almost unusable because of the slick plastic surface, despite using different shoes to see if it made a difference. My solution was to rough up the surface with sand paper. This helped a little, but what helped the greatest was mounting 4 anti-skid adhesive strip to the squat pad. There is no more sliding around the squat pad. The believe price value and the shipping time were both very good.

    Was skeptical but am now a believer.
    Was skeptical but am now a believer. This machine gives you a way to target muscles in multiple directions and intensities. Fold up quickly for storage or transport when traveling. Each day I try a different variation on exercises and wake up a little sore the next morning. Bought from Walmart for an easy return process if I didn't like but am definitely keeping. Best bang for the buck in workout machines. Thanks Chuck. The dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. You know what happened to them.

    Great for the money and timing
    This piece of equipment has been great for the frustrating timing of the coronavirus. It's easy to set up, use, you can adjust your workouts to your skill level and there are plenty of videos on Pinterest to help out with workout ideas to work best for each person. I enjoy it.

    Give it a try, looks promising!
    Goes together easily. It seems smooth. I watched the DVD, but have yet to get my butt on the machine. Being elderly, my husband and I will be happy to do the beginners exercises. So much easier than going out to the gym. I think I will be very pleased with this routine..
